the john f.k. presidential library in boston. a two-day rest stop for them in their final journey. with the now familiar military precision, they brought ted kennedy out there and the coffin into the library. a reminder, ted kennedy served in the u.s. military. many have never known that without the kennedy in the senate. >> it's a time and memory and just means a lot to them to your kennedy family and all that they have contributed to us. and to that country. >> we should all do something good in this country and not just stand back. they gathered at the family compound for a private mass overlooking the ocean, ted kennedy once loved to sale. and then the half dozen or so vehicles, began the long

slow 70 mile trip to boston. they went their way out there in their life. and that is where he announced their bid for the presidency in 1980. and the ceremony will be on saturday at articlington national cemetery. for the next two days, he will lie out there to propose that in boston massachusetts and people are already lining up to pay their final respects. they will actually extend the hours if there is call for more time for people to say good- bye. >> from what we have seen today, there will be. >> they now have an open senate seat for the first time in 25 years. now the questions are, how will it take for them to fill that seat and who will sit there? the current massachusetts law requires a special election out there, 145 days after they

become vacant. and they are asking them to appoint a temporary replacement sooner. he like i, we support the current law that provides for a special election about five months out after the vacancy returned. they made a request for them to appoint to someone who served for that five-month period until that special election occurs. and i think that it is reasonablable. >> he would sign a change in the law if the legislature approved it. he says that it was important for them to have two voices in the senate. that is something that they shared with all of them at the area for the church in articlington. and the kennedy's priest, 1975. while they were battling brain cancer, the father, he went to his home every sunday for a

private mass. today, he shared a lot of private things for them a few people knew about this very public figure. and i probably would not do that as well to the airport on saturday. >> you would be hard pressed to find a more lively and passenger creek out there since he was there. so it is no surprise he could go toe to toe with them who he says has so many dimensions that a few people know about. >> a calendar full so vivid that you're inanantltey orspd trto the shore where ted kennedy and a lover of the sea painted many of them. >> so i think that he had sort of a poe etic and imaginative site. >> as they mourn their friend and honors them at the dedicated private, he is celebrating his joy and sense of humor and the way he connected to people on a personal level.

arlington houses just a few feet from the assassinated brother, robert and john. >> it is nice for people that want to remember them. that the brothers are altogether. a nice memory for them to have that all together. >> i can remember ted kennedy for, you know, years growing up. how close all three brothers were. >> they are eligible for the burial at arlington. both because they served two years out there and because of their 46 years of service in the senate. again, here's the memorial scheduled. over the next two days, there will be a public viewing and memorial service at the jfk library. on saturday morning, a funeral mass followed by a private burial in arlington national cemetery. for more on the life and legacy of senator ted ken de --

champion steelers who the skins beat, but against whom the starting offense for the redskins still got them. no love there. now tomorrow, the patriots and a man named brady and, you know, an odd number year so they will win these super bowl. in a word for them at the schedule, i would say back-to-back-to-back-and then to back with the season opener. we're not as far along on offense as we would like to be going against these defenses, but it's helping us. not hindering us at all. we're gaining confidence. he lead them through that walk it had morning. then in the afternoon, lunch. the team's annual welcome home lunch, which used to make sense when they had training camp out there in carlisle. and now the training camp is at the same place they play all along. i'm not sure when. but still, the 2008 team awards were
